The “Standard Bearer’s” Exposition, Defense, and Development of the Reformed Faith

This article traces the origins and first 100 years of the Standard Bearer magazine, founded in 1924 by Herman Hoeksema and Henry Danhof as a vehicle for defending Reformed truth against the Christian Reformed Church's adoption of common grace doctrine. The resource provides historical context for the common grace controversy, the polemical nature of early Standard Bearer publications, and the magazine's role in articulating and defending the theological convictions that led to the formation of the Protestant Reformed Churches.
